Assistant/Associate/Full Professor: Sleep Medicine PACCS

About the Job

About the Department:

The Department of Medicine's Division of Pulmonary, Allergy, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine (PACCS) seeks an Assistant Professor faculty on the Academic or Clinical Track. As a Division, with more than 80 faculty based at four principal hospital sites, we proudly feature nationally recognized programs and leaders in Interstitial Lung Disease, COPD, Lung Transplantation, Critical Care Medicine (Respiratory Failure & ARDS), Cystic Fibrosis, Interventional Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine. We strive to find new treatments and cures for diseases in these areas through basic, clinical and ‘big data’ research, while working to prevent respiratory illness. We partner with faculty across the University and colleagues in the community in our research, clinical, education and training efforts.

M Health and Clinical Partnerships

Providers practice at affiliated locations under the M Health Fairview shared care delivery system. This partnership represents a collaboration between University of Minnesota Physicians (MPhysicians), University of Minnesota Medical Center and Fairview Health Services to build a nationally recognized academic health system that combines academic and community resources to provide the very best clinical care to patients and communities, while also supporting research and education across the joint healthcare delivery system.

MPhysicians:

MPhysicians is the multi-specialty group practice for the University of Minnesota Medical School faculty clinicians, community-practice clinicians, advanced practice providers, and healthcare professionals. We serve the land grant mission of the University by providing high quality specialty and primary care, innovative and leading-edge cures and treatments, and access to the latest evidence-based care to patients across the state of Minnesota and beyond.

Primary Responsibilities include:

This academic track faculty member will devote at least 85% effort to providing high quality clinical care in sleep medicine, with some concurrent education of trainees. The remaining effort will be dedicated to education and collaborative research activities with the expectation of demonstrated accomplishments consistent with promotion in the academic track (an average of at least one publication per year, for example). The clinical activity will be at University of Minnesota Medical Center (Hospital and Clinics and Surgery Center) and will include time at one or more other Fairview Hospitals and Clinics. The faculty will participate actively and contribute to PACCS Division and Department of Medicine academic and clinical programs in pulmonary and critical care. It is strongly encouraged that faculty develop an area of focus and expertise, gradually developing a regional and then national reputation in sleep medicine. Faculty would participate actively in the relevant multi-disciplinary programs. Faculty will be expected to participate in multi-investigator research studies and grants related to sleep medicine and/or other Division and Department research projects. Clinical effort may be reduced with participation in salary-supported activities (research, program leadership, etc). Active participation in the Division's clinical and research conferences, journal club and core curriculum lectures and teaching of students, residents and fellows is expected. Experience and skills in education and/or clinical research are desirable.

This position is ideal for recently trained, clinically adept sleep medicine physicians who are interested in developing a high-quality clinical practice with a significant educational component across both academic and community settings while building an area of clinical and academic expertise.
